Xue Wu: "T-Teacher, I... I Can't Go On... I Can't Walk Anymore!"

To Xue Wu, Heavenly Water Academy was her second home!

This Titled Douluo did not threaten her with her own life, but with her family. That was no different from seizing Xue Wu's weak spot. With no other choice, she could only bow her head and agree.

Of course.

After it was over, she received a reward from that Titled Douluo: a storage pouch meant for women. It contained a great many gold soul coins, enough for her entire family to live on for several lifetimes.

For commoners, copper soul coins were what they used. Silver soul coins were already rare, let alone gold soul coins.

At the time, Xue Wu had been utterly terrified and at a loss. She always felt like those women in the neighboring village who worked in that profession...

Fortunately.

The training squad put that helplessness out of her mind again. She did not dare spend those gold soul coins, nor did she dare use the storage pouch. She could only hide it in her dormitory.

Luckily, every member of the training squad had their own private apartment, so she did not have to worry about the secret being exposed.

But what Xue Wu never could have imagined was—

She had actually encountered that man at Heavenly Water Academy!

And that man was even an instructor at Heavenly Water Academy!?

Xue Wu was even more horrified. She froze completely, staring blankly at Chen Yue's peerless face, second only to the reader's, and went utterly stiff!

"What, have you been captivated by my looks?"

Chen Yue smiled faintly, still holding Xue Wu in his arms. Only then did she snap back to her senses and hurriedly push him away. "T-Teacher, p-please conduct yourself with propriety!"

She was certain that Chen Yue had been unconscious at the time, so it was impossible for him to know about that incident.

Therefore, as long as she acted as though nothing had happened, everything would surely be fine!

"Hm?"

Chen Yue was momentarily stunned, but he quickly figured it out.

From Xue Wu's reaction just now, Chen Yue instantly understood that she had recognized him but had chosen to pretend otherwise. Clearly, Xue Wu had been threatened back then, which meant...

With that thought, Chen Yue casually said, "I'm an instructor in the Soul Ring Department, and I also know a little about other areas of theory."

"There's something wrong with your current condition... With your current Soul Power, you shouldn't be unable to even finish a single sparring match, should you?"

Those words truly struck Xue Wu right in the heart!

Besides.

Heavenly Water Academy had always been centered around beautiful women. Whether instructors or students, they were all women. In all these years, there had never been a male.

Yet this person had become an instructor there. That alone... was enough to show that he might truly have some skill?

"Th-then, what should I do?"

Blushing slightly because of that peerless face, Xue Wu spoke in a low voice.

"I'll need to examine it first."

Chen Yue naturally knew that the real reason was that Xue Wu was carrying his child. But if he said that out loud in public, would Xue Wu not immediately be branded as "indecent" and "seducing an instructor"?

He did not want his woman to be subjected to controversy.

So!

He directly decided to discuss it in the office.

That was right.

As someone with an over-limit Soul Ring configuration, Chen Yue also had his own private office.

"Come with me, to my office!"

Xue Wu nodded as well. Her face flushed as she took two steps, but she quickly could not continue. "T-Teacher, I... I can't go on... I can't walk anymore!"

"I'll carry you!"

Chen Yue was not surprised in the slightest. Without another word, he scooped her up in a princess carry amid her cry of surprise. "Ah!"
